I'm a pretty hardcore capitalist and this a bad argument. If you live in a certain system you are forced to abide by the rules of that system, even if you don't want to.

That being said I do think the obsessive consumerism of the elites and trust fund kids that parrot left-wing ideologies is hypocritical. You don't NEED a new iphone. You don't NEED to watch the newest movie. You can get your products from companies that don't abuse human rights. It doesn't take that much effort to consume a little less and do your research to support ethical companies. All the tools to cut your economics ties with these massive megacorporations are THERE, commies just ignore them and decide to do nothing.
